Thompson has just written the life of that great man of écience, so long identified with Glasgow, and yet with a world fame-- William Thomson. Baron Kelvin of Largs. One who knew Thomson well reviews the book in The Glasgow ports. These were the days when Mr. John ingham, was serving as an assistant in the postoffice at Bath.

The senior clerk, for instance, was the former head-butlef of some peer for whose service he had grown too old. Subsequently, Mr. Bate graduated to the G.P.O. in London, and thence to Kidderminster, where he acted as post- master for the "princely" salary of $600 a year. And now, an old man of eighty-eight, he sits up in his little room in Earl's Court, revolving the many wonderful things he saw in what are known as "the old days." No one is a greater authority on the post- office as it was than Mr. Bate, and he has many an' interesting story of his early experiences to relate. "Members of Parliament in those days weren't half as honest as they make themselves out té6 be in this twentieth century," Mr. Bate inform- ed a representative of Answers, with a chuckle. "As you know, votes then had to be bought with mere than pro- mises, and this little postoffice sys. tem helped them considerably. The | hon. member for the Blank Division of Dashshire would think nothing of making a practice of receiving regu- larly mysterious little packages from Brown and Jones and Robinson. These contained unstamped letters, written by his constituents. Then the '"honor- able' member would calinly write his own signature on each envelope, and thus contrive to swindle one of the very departments ver which His own Government was su to keep eontrol! .

"At the early age of ten William Thomson matriculated for the first time as a student of Glasgow Univer- sity--his brother James, two years his senior, making his first entry at the same time. The two brothers earned special distingtion in the departments of mathematics and natural philo- sophy, but William also gained prizes in the Latin and logic classes. he ae ng from a s made o Lord Kelvin at a dinner of the Glasgow University Club in May, 1907 --his last public speech, and one of the most delightful and most characteris tic--in which he gave his mature views " or "'A boy,' he said, 'should have learned by the age of twelve to write his own e with accuracy and some elegance, he should have a read- H knewjedts, of | French, should be e in and easy Greek authors, and should have ene. ac. juasintance with German.

He absolutely roared, and Prince Albert, his overjoyed fath- er, said: "Well, if his appetite is as good as his lungs, 1 pity his nurse." Yét no fewer than seven hundred women volunteered for the post! Of 'course, it was a& post worth having. Apart ftom the honor, it was a'lucra- tive one. The nurse of the Princess Royal got $2,500, and for such an im- portant personage as the heir to the throne the fees were doubled. The nurse and her charge were installed in a room next the Queen's, and that de. voted father and husband, Prince Al- bert, divided his time between mother and baby. ¢ Meanwhile, London and the whole kingdom went mad with joy. Never was such a Lord Mayor's Day as Nv. 9, 1841. The Lord, Mayor was almost forgotten. Great crowds gathered, cheering the Queen and the heir. Forty-eight rs «after his birth King Edward held his first official re- ception. The Lord Mayor and Sherifls of London came in state to welcome | him, { Then four weeks after his arrival he was created "Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland --Prince of Wales and Earl of Ches- ter," and a host of minor titles were iven him. Until then he had been nown in the royal household as "the Little Duke." He was not only created, but erown- ed, Prince of Wales. The proclamation runs: ; "We do annoble and invest him with the. said Principality and Earldom by girting him with the sword, by put ti a coronet his head, and a ring on his finger, and also by rod into his hand." But probably his time was taken up by admiring the littering objects as they were given him. -------- George 1V. and the King's Speech. One of the best stories in connection with the history of the King's speech, delivered at the opening of each fresh session of Parliament, is told of George IV. when Prince Regent and recalled by a contributor to The 8 Magazine. e prince, it is well known, took his responsibilities lightly, and on one occasion is said to have bet Sheridan a hundred that either owing to the m of his personality or the flutter which the oecupants of the Lords' chamber were in so little attention was really paid to the ver bal character of the speech he was delivering that he could make any in- tarpolation he liked without it being detec The bet was taken and the Prince Regent to introduce the words "Baa, baa, black sheep" in the middle of the speech. "1 anybody smilés or looks start. led" he said, "T lose my bet." This exploit actually came oft and at the ¢ of a weighty allusion, ot fhe lous Lord Liverpool, to Wel- lesley's difficulties in Bpain, the Re gent cleared his throat, said 'Baa baa, black sheep" hurriedly and went on without apparently exciting any remark. Sheridan related the royal audacity to Canning. / Z "Jt is perfectly amazing to me, he said, "that no notice was taken. Did n't you hat him distinctly say "'Baa, baa, black sheep?' "1 did," rejothed Canning, "but as His Royal Highness you full in the face at the time I took it as a and" my delicacy about it."
